I used to dream myself to somewhere else each night
I dreamed in colour, 'cos I lived in black and white
Until I chanced upon this road that led to you, I couldn't see
How anything could be
 
Better than a dream
Stranger than my wild imagination
If this is a real sensation, it's better than a dream
Higher than the moon
Hazy like a beautiful illusion
Crazy and in confusion
And better than a dream
 
I used to wish I was beyond some distant door
I knew there must be more to life, and now I'm sure
No dreams of pirate caves, or indian braves
Or magic carpets could
Ever be this good
 
Better than a dream
Stranger than my wild imagination
If this is a real sensation, it's better than a dream
Higher than the moon
Hazy like a beautiful illusion
Crazy and in confusion
And better than a dream 

And better than a dream.
